Once upon a sad, sad time, there was a small town named depression. Almost everyone in the world was sad especially everyone in depression. Millions of people died committing suicide. Finally, a local scientist named Dr. Ouch decided to fix this. He made a virus that no human is immune too. It would alter the brain to release more happy feelings and was passed on if you simply look at someone. His intentions were good, his doings were evil. A small miscalculation in the virus caused it to make you extremely happy, alter your skin to a yellowish color and make it rot away, and makes you have an infinite craving of flesh. What was meant to make the world better, nearly ended it. It spread like a wet spot on a rainy day. The remaining survivors were forced to look for signs of infection in themselves and their teammates. The first symptom is joy. You feel carefree and anything amuses you as if you were a small child. The next sign is very strange behavior. Although joy was considered strange behavior at that time, this way of acting was very, very strange. They might say that their eyes might be deaf or that someone keeps punching them in the guts. The third and final stage is absolute lunacy. They start attacking inanimate objects, eating strange things such as glass or leather. They stop drinking water and start trying to bite at their own body. This is the stage that they realize that all they want is to eat people. Here is the explanation: When people are bored or depressed, they may eat. The smileys have a great and amazing feeling when they first get the virus. The virus acts like a drug because the feeling they get is so great that they will do anything to feel it again. That's the first stage. The second is that they are trying to find a way to be happy again because that effect of the virus starts to wear off. They try everything anything to be happy again. The third stage is realization. They realize that they have eating makes them feel better, but they still can't figure out what they need to eat. When they start to gnaw on themselves, they realize that what they've been looking for all along was human flesh. The virus uses flesh to fuel itself and make the brain more happy. That's why their own flesh starts to rot. The fortunate part is that even though it can be passed on when they look at you and you look at them, that is the only way it is passed on. Being bitten does not infect you. Most of the survivors wear blindfolds or are blind themselves. The only way for this Apocalypse to go away is if the smileys don't eat flesh. They will start to get so desperate that they start to eat themselves. Once they are all dead, the world can be rebuilt. But until then be careful and be sad.

Side Note: Thank you to all who supported me and this skin. Ten diamonds might not seem like much considering how many diamonds the top skins got, but to me it really is a lot. If you didn't know, you helped me get into the finals at 88th place! I was in the top 100 and I couldn't have done it without your comments and diamonds! I worked really hard on this skin and being in the finals is more than enough of a reward! I'm GLaD all of you enjoyed my skin, and thanks again for the help :D
